Junior Scientists Book 3 provides students with the opportunity to learn about science by: experimenting with materials, asking questions, recording observations, investigating and reflecting, and devising new ideas/theories about how the world works.

Each activity page is paired with a page of notes for the teacher. These notes include: ideas for introducing each activity, background information, answers and possible student responses and extension activities.

Junior Scientists Book 3 is the third book in a three part Science Series which explores four areas of science: biology, physics, chemistry and earth and space. It is a ‘must have’ resource for any Year 3 teacher.

Practical Science Series: Natural and Processed Materials 10-12 yrs

Tim Lowson — Fri, 31 Aug 2018 02:49:36 +0000

This book contains a set of practical lessons, ideas and worksheets to explore the strand of Natural and Processed Materials. Learning activities focus on food labelling, food additives, component parts of household items, flow charts, hazardous chemicals and the properties of common materials. Students will use their knowledge of material properties to explain why materials are used for certain items. Specific science skills will be enhanced through these activities including predicting, testing, collating information, writing observations, making assessments of the properties of materials, and using this knowledge for reporting. Educational website references have been included where possible. All activities are outcome linked to the science strands of state curriculum documents.
